"Hi SteveI’m sure you’re aware of the Trading Made Simple thread and I know that eelfranz has requested that contributors reframe from posting EA’s and indicators, but from my manual back testing there is a way to trade this so that it can be automated and very profitable.Unfortunately, I’m no coder so all I can specify is the rules and the indicators that contain the code to be built into the EA. It’s nowhere near as complicated as some of the other bots that you’ve created and worked your magic on.Indicators TDI Green Red - from the Trading Made Simple threadSynergy_APB - from the Trading Made Simple threadSimple MA 5 shifted 2 – standard MT4Lawgirls trend display v1.02 – Lawgirls Trading Naked thread

The trading rules are as follows;Entry for BUY ifgreen crosses red,And green is angled between 1 & 2 on a clock face (Law girls ind has this logic as it’s used to display RSI arrows)And Synergy candle is coloured Blue (buy)And previous blue candle has closed above the shifted SMAIf the last 2 conditions aren’t met wait for candle to close and then test again. Abandon after that (i.e. ignore trade if you’re having to read the 3rd candle after the green red cross)StopsSL is n pips (n selectable) below the last but one candle (i.e. if trade opens on candle 0, SL is low of candle -2)Once trade is positive by 20 pips, trail the stop to the bottom of the previous Blue candle.ExitExit when SL hit or candle closes below the SMA.For SELLs same rules, but in opposite direction.I’ve been testing this on 4hrs, multiple currency pairs and seems very profitable. The angle of the green keeps you out of ranging trades and the exits maximise the profitsI can’t easily forward test this in demo, as my job means I’m out of the house 7am-6pm and I’m not allowed mobile or PC access whilst at work. Hence an EA is the only way I’ll be able to run this (bar time off).I'm presuming that the code from the indicators can be lifted in some way, and that the tops and bottoms of the candles are easily identifed (I appreciate that seeing them on a screen and the code to generate them maynot be as straight forward)Hope this hasn’t been too much of an intrusion.Look forward to your response (not including 2, 4 & 5 above !!!) and happy to answer any question or clarification that you may require.Thanks SP"

I had a few minutes to spare, and so I knocked together the attached. A few points to note:

I have ignored the Synergy stuff and simply measured whether candles are rising or falling.

I have not coded the candlestick trailing stop - couldn't be bothered.

The EA is a marginal loser in backtesting. This is never a good sign, but I might have mis-coded something, or it may be that the candlestick ts is vitally important.

I have not read the thread that inspired the contributor to pm me, and so have coded what I was sent, sort-of.

I do not have any interest in this, and coded it because I was bored, not interested in the strategy.
